Yeah, I did a search after I posted the question....not easy to find any rules or guidelines around delisted free agency, but I believe you are absolutely correct.
Before today, I was hoping we'd rookie list McMahon....after today, it seems a bit of a no brainer.
Does that mean we can just pick him up for nothing.
People forget he basically didn't have a preseason. Reckon with a big preseason will play senior footy next year
McMahon is not eligible as a delisted free agent for this year. He’ll need to nominate for the draft and will be available to all clubs.
I would argue that I’d prefer to play McMahon right now in from of Owies and Martin. Yes he’s taller but a third tall forward that can pinch hit in the ruck is the ideal set up allowing McKay to stay forward.
On a side note as Curnow is likely out tomorrow McMahon would play ahead of young easily.
Genuine pure mid
Turns it over too much. Compare him to Cox. If he can kick efficiently then maybe small chance.
We had two picks as well. Staggering we didn't pick him up. He will get picked inside the top 50 in the draft now.
I think we can sign him as a DFA before draft if we want? If not we could guarantee him an SSP spot
Are you 100% sure on this? Unless the rules have changed over the past few year, this doesn't seem to be the case. Geelong signed Stengle without going through the draft back in 2021.
"Players who have been delisted by their clubs have the freedom to join any rival that offers them a contract during these two periods, avoiding the need to enter the NAB AFL Draft."
Once you're a DFA, you're a free agent for life.
When does the delisted free agency period start?

Haven't watched the game yet, how did Cahill play?
One thing that impresses me about McMahon is he leads really well. Something our forwards don't really do.
Hard to tell covers the ground well

Are we both his mum now?
Always had AFL traits but was coming off injury. Could be a massive point of difference in the forward half.
Only in the year you come out of contract, is my understanding.Are you 100% sure on this? Unless the rules have changed over the past few year, this doesn't seem to be the case. Geelong signed Stengle without going through the draft back in 2021.

Stengle was delisted by Adelaide in early 2021 and listed by Geelong before the draft later that year.

I agree with Jimmie re: Pittonet.
Absolutely should cash him in. I reckon O'Keeffe and Mirkov (now that we can keep on rookie list) is all we need. Still have Young and Lemmy for break glass.

Not actually Brad Fisher
Sadly I think the time to cash in was last year. Recent performances would be killing his trade value.
That's a real concern
Think the better example of this is Toby Pink to North. Therein lies our answer…
No, players are now Free Agents for life.
That applies to Cahill too?
Any player delisted by a club (unless they retired or delisted themselves)
do you know if they can be pre-listed as a rookie - or it has to be to the primary list?
